The photos should be simple - export them from Picasa to their native format (.jpg for example). Copy those to some sort of removeable drive, or to a cloud-based service. Then copy them back to your new iMac (iPhoto).

As for your spreadsheet, you'll need some short of spreadsheet software on your Mac. I use Excel, and it can open spreadsheets created on Windows computers with no issues.

I am not familiar with Picasa, but you just need to export the photos from Picasa to an external drive or USB key of some sort then you can import them into iPhoto on the iMac. There is also a Mac version of Picasa if you want to continue using that app. I found this link that explains how to move from Windows Picasa to Mac Picasa if that is what you want to do.

I don't believe the MS Works spreadsheet format is supported on any Mac spreadsheets apps (at least none I could find). Can you open the files in MS Works then export them in the .XLS Excel spreadsheet format? Excel files can be opened in any Mac spreadsheet app including Apple's Numbers app.

It's only a disaster on OSX. It runs incredibly well on both Windows and Linux. The excuse that Flash doesn't run well because Adobe can't code, or won't put effort into the smaller user base doesn't really hold water when Linux also runs it fantastically, like Windows. It's just an OSX thing.

I own a mac and a PC
anytime any I go to a flash based website, fans start spinning like crazy. Be it the old Mac or the new PC.
HTML on the other hand...
So, that's kind of bad, no?
